Hey there owners!
When we lace up our trainers and gear up for a workout, it's about more than just breaking a sweat. It's about making choices—choices that impact not just our health, but the health of our planet. Enter polyester, the go-to fabric for most of our activewear. It's durable, it's flexible, and it's... problematic.
Polyester comes from a not-so-evironmentally-friendly source: oil. The process to create this fabric isn't just a thirst for resources; it's also a significant source of pollution, churning out greenhouse gases like it's a competition. And that's before we even talk about laundry day. Washing these clothes sends microplastics downstream, which isn't exactly what we want to contribute to the environment. And this year, for the first time ever, microplastics were found in human blood.
But we're here with good news! There's a simple, stylish way to keep your eco-footprint as light as your running shoes: second-hand activewear. By choosing second-hand activewear, you're not only giving these clothes a new life, but you're also reducing the demand for new production—and that's a big deal.
You get to
- Prevent New Oil Extractions
- Prevent New Carbon Production
- Save Money
- Prevent Clothing from going into landfill.
Here at OWNI, we believe in second chances, not just for people, but for clothes too. Our collection of second-hand activewear isn't just about being thrifty; it's about being thoughtful. It's about making sure that every step you take in your fitness journey doesn't leave a heavier footprint on our planet than necessary.
You don't have to sacrifice style or performance either. Our curated web selection means you get the quality and the look you want without the environmental toll. It's a win-win, and who doesn't love one of those?
So, why not swing by and check out what we've got? Your next favourite yoga pants or running shirt might just be here waiting for you, ready to hit the track and make a positive impact on the world.
And if you are at home with activewear that you aren't using, you can engage with OWNI buy back or list them for sale with the OWNI mobile app. Remember for everything item you don't use there is someone who needs it now. So make sure to list it for sale soon.
Warmly,
Team OWNI!
